Hi, I’m Clare, Chair of the DSG. I live in North London with my husband and a dog, my study buddy Luna. I have fibromyalgia, endometriosis, an autoimmune condition and some neurological health problems. Currently studying year one of BA Geography having just recently passed MA Music. formerly graduating from the OU with an MSc in forensic psychology and criminology in 2012, before that a BSc in sociology at Uni of Surrey. I am also a student representative.
I work as a project manager for community safety in North London. I also set up and chaired the NEL NHS Staff Ability Network running education sessions on sickle cell with the BAME network and sessions on neurodiversities with a launch which included a session with Amar Latiff on living your best life with disabilities and an all-staff session on fibromyalgia. I am currently still a menopause advocate. Out of work I play saxophone & flute and spending time with my dog and husband plus with mum going to galleries and museums. I have also been known to get sucked into video games and far too much music. It’s an honour to represent a great group of students and I can’t wait to meet you all and work with everyone.
